Choosing paint and wheels

HMERacing · May 1st, 2011, 12:23 PM

Current color and wheels.
Mustang - 1989 LX
Wheels - Weld Draglite Big "n" lil's
Color - Black

This is what it looks like now.

This is what I am thinking about. and the pics below are what I my be shooting for.

I have GT bumpers, skirts, wing and moldings
I am tossing around the idea of going white or twilight blue.
And changing over to 5 lug with Weld S71 wheels.

What do you think? anyone here have the S71 wheels on their fox?

both are good choices, i dont care for the wheels on the blue mustang but the wheels on the white one kick ass. To tell you the truth even if you left your car black the new wheels would look great too

those rims are like a pair of tig ol' bitties...

I think the white compliments those rims better

I think the Blue car has Welds on the front and Bogart wheels on the rear.
I am painting the car either way. But I am leaning toward blue or white.

Me personally i'd leave the lx an lx and change the color if you want and throw some bogarts on it

I vote Twilight Blue.... not that I'm, biased. (Doesn't show it the avi pic very well, but that's what my car is. Will be solid color when I repaint too)

Ya ,the welds up front i like ,its the bogarts I'm not keen on

I say a bogart D10's or flystar's but damn theres a dozen other wheels i'd toss on the car if money wasn't an object

Not a fan of the Flystars if this is what your talking about.

But the D10's, I like.

What are the other wheels you speak of? If money was no object of course.

That blue one looks saweeeet with those wheels!

flyin ryan · May 2nd, 2011, 09:01 PM

Yea d10's are nice.. there's tons of them out there just depends on your taste and function for the wheels.. most are heavier so if your looking for a drag wheel look at weld, bogart and billet specialities.. I like the billet specialties street lites

But these centerline competition qualifiers are pretty sweet too.. been thinking about them for my gmc syclone.

ccw classics requires deep pockets but are amazing wheels in person

weld magnums and jegs make a copy of them now for 1/8th the price

simmons f18's are popular in the grand national crowd and are very rare

fiske wheels look great on some cars and are expensive a fuck but are light

Take a look at the wheel and tires section over on corral they have a thread that's allot of pages long with every friggin wheel posted.
